“Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it’s common sense.” -Ronald Reagan.[1] Global warming is the rise of the temperature in air and the major reason of this problem is the drastic increase in the emission of CO2 caused by burning fuels.[2] The rise of the greenhouse gases started around the 1950’s because of the rise of industries and factories. [3] Global warming didn’t start in a specific location rather in the places with a higher industrial concentration like in United Kingdom, United States and China. [4] . The purpose of this essay is to clarify the biggest problems of global warming and display solutions how to avoid or stop it.

Air pollution consists of any damaging substance for the environment and living things that is introduce into the atmosphere. [5] Air pollution comes from many different sources like cars, factories and the burning of fossil fuels to name a few. Some of the greenhouse gases have cost a depletion in the ozone layer, this has caused that global warming has speed up because of the hole in the ozone layer caused by air pollution. [6] This pollution traps heat around the Earth thus causing global warming. [7] Smog is one of the forms of air pollution and one of its main components is sulfur dioxide. Although it causes acid rain it also is able to keep sunlight out of the Earth maintaining it cool. Thus reducing smog is actually helping even more the global warming as it lets more sunlight go through and gets trapped thanks to the pollution. [7] Some of the other greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, HFC’s, PFC’s and SF6. If these gases continue to rise, the ozone layer will continue to decay and global warming would continue increasing and affecting us. [8]...

GlobalWarming
Through the four different ideas brought up through this debate project I believe in the stance that something should be done to our ways of living because we know globalwarming is human caused. I have found that a crucial article in my beliefs was found through Donald R. Prothero’s (2012) research. At first when this project began, I was unsure on my beliefs about globalwarming but my stance is now clear after this moving article. It has a few main topics that were crucial elements to the decline in our atmospheres ozone layer increases of emissions of greenhouse gasses through carbon dioxide has resulted in glaciers melting. Plants that can absorb some of these gasses are being cut down and therefore adding to carbon dioxide increase. The toxicity of the air is absorbed into the warming oceans and killing marine life and this I think is horrific. I also was unaware of the fact that scientists with bad degrees are being paid to tell the general public that globalwarming is human caused, when unanimously it is decided among all scientists that there is no proof it isn’t human caused. Of course these scientists are being paid by none other than the big money makers that only want their products to be sold or used to make a profit.
My group was told we must present that...

Globalwarming refers to the sustained increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. In simple words, the phenomenon of warming of the planet Earth is known as globalwarming.
The chief indicators of the globalwarming are as under:
• Ozone Depletion
• Greenhouse effect
• Burning of...

...GlobalWarming
Throughout the years, many topics have been brought to attention and have caused many controversial discussions. Being one of them, GlobalWarming has been the number one controversial topic for decades. One main subtopic talked about has been the different types of “effects” GlobalWarming has caused on this Earth to go through. One effect is Greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases can stay in the atmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years. No matter what we do, globalwarming is going to have some effect on Earth. Another effect is diseases. As northern countries warm, disease carrying insects migrate north, bringing plague and disease with them. Indeed some scientists believe that in some countries, thanks to globalwarming, malaria has not been fully eradicated. Another effect is warm water and hurricanes. As the temperature of oceans rises, so will the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes. We saw in this in 2004 and 2005. Another effect is Economic consequences. Most of the effects of anthropogenic globalwarming won’t be good. These effects spell one thing for the countries of the world: economic consequences. Hurricanes cause billions of dollars in damage, diseases cost money to treat and control and conflicts exacerbate all of...

...GlobalWarming and its Effects
What is globalwarming? Globalwarming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die. However, globalwarming has its causes and it also has its effects on humans, and animals.
Many things cause globalwarming. One thing that causes globalwarming is electrical pollution. Electricity causes pollution in many ways, some worse than others. In most cases, fossil fuels are burned to create electricity. Fossil fuels are made of dead plants and animals. Some examples of fossil fuels are oil and petroleum. Many pollutants (chemicals that pollute the air, water, and land) are sent into the air when fossil fuels are burned. Some of these chemicals are called greenhouse gasses. We use these sources of energy much more than the sources that give off less pollution. Petroleum, one of the sources of energy, is used a lot. It is used for transportation, making electricity, and making many other things. Although this source of energy gives off a lot of pollution, it is used for 38% of the...

... GLOBALWARMING
The term globalwarming was first used in its modern sense in a science paper dated 8th August 1975 in the journal science called “Are we on the brink of a pronounced globalwarming?” The words used by Broker were new and they represented a convincing recognition that there was an amount of warming in the climate. Scientists previously used the phrase “inadvertent climate modification” because even though it was realized that humans could bring about a change in the environment, no-one was particularly sure as to which direction it was going. The word GlobalWarming was first used by National Academy of Sciences in 1979 in a paper called The Charney Report, which wrote: “If there is a continuous increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there’ll be no reason to doubt that climate changes will come up and no reason to believe that these changes will be close to insignificant.” The report made a contrast between referring to changes in surface temperature as GlobalWarming while referring to various other changes caused by increased CO2 as climate change. Globalwarming became more commonly popular basically after 1988 when a NASA climate scientist James Hansen used the term in a demonstration to congress. He said, “Global...

... What is GlobalWarming?
GlobalWarming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent
The average facade temperature of the globe has augmented more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900 and the speed of warming has been almost three folds the century long average since 1970.
This increase in earth’s average temperature is called Globalwarming. More or less all specialists studying the climate record of the earth have the same opinion now that human actions, mainly the discharge of green house gases from smokestacks, vehicles, and burning forests, are perhaps the leading power driving the fashion.
The gases append to the planet's normal greenhouse effect, permitting sunlight in, but stopping some of the ensuing heat from radiating back to space. Based on the study on past climate shifts, notes of current situations, and computer simulations, many climate scientists say that lacking of big curbs in greenhouse gas discharges, the 21st century might see temperatures rise of about 3 to 8 degrees, climate patterns piercingly shift, ice sheets contract and seas rise several feet. With the probable exemption of one more world war, a huge asteroid, or a fatal plague, globalwarming may be the only most...

...Humans Are To Blame For GlobalWarming

Abstract
Every human activity has a particular effect on objects surrounding his or her environment, be it physical, mental, or social. But notably, the most evident might be the effect of human activity on globalwarming. Globalwarming is quickly becoming a major topic of concern worldwide, and has been stirring up controversy everywhere with its adverse effects seen all over the world. It causes rise of the temperature, leading to – among other things - melting of the polar ice and glaciers, increase in sea level, and extreme weather events. Its effects can also be felt in the form of natural disasters like drought, floods, and tornadoes. Of recent, we have experienced very devastating natural disasters like the Tsunami that affected many parts of Asia in 2005, Hurricane Katrina, numerous tornadoes in the United States, and the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Japan. All these are due to effects of globalwarming. Research evidence by scientists and opinions polls conducted by credible pollsters indicate that the major causes of climate change are human activities and this paper tries to evaluate the impact of human activities on globalwarming and how climate change has in turn affected the very same humans whose activities cause...
